If 12-year-old "not like other girls" me saw me at 25 reading twilight AND having a good time doing it she would lose her mind lol

I absolutely love the emoji feature when rating books on here, even if I tend to take it way too seriously and end up taking forever to pick them. But this got me thinking, if you had to sum up your reading taste using three emojis, what would they be? (If you can't type the emojis just say what they are.)

Mine would be 🪦🏳️‍🌈😭(grave, pride flag, sobbing emoji)

i was actually just talking with my friend about this but lowkey i prefer a smaller forum. like i love a big, popular book but when the forum has like 75+ posts i get so overwhelmed that lowkey i don't even look at the forum, unless its a challenge book i've alr read or if my mutuals are reading/posting about it.

my argument for why small forums are better is that you really get more engagement and conversation (imo) about the book and how you feel, and also when the forums small you really feel the ripple effect, bc you know that everytime someone reads the book you're really curating something you know you'd like to see. like i LOVE when my posts in the small forums get likes bc ik they agree with me, not bc i was funny or was putting a popular quote on there. like the book i'm currently reading has no posts besides mine, but i think of it as paving the way and starting future conversations with other readers, by being the first to say something about the book

What book(s) do you have muted and why? I want to hear it all from the silly to the serious.

I'll go first: I have the Heated Rivalry series muted because I am on here at work quite frequently and I can't have NSFW book covers coming up on my feed all the time! I did notice now that they have the more modern illustrated versions coming out now, so maybe I'll be able to unmute them eventually.

I have probably five books checked out through Libby right now. I've been trying to get through them but usually I have to renew at least once especially since I have so many books out right now. I just started reading one book because I saw someone put it on a hold and now I have to finish it because I won't be able to renew it! Does anyone else do something similar???

what’s one book that you would not have normally picked up but did (book club/family & friend rec/popular/mixing it up) and end up loving?
